re: proposed speck and redfish changes

I’ve talked to researchers who say the best thing we could do for trout would be to increase the size limit to 15””.

They are absolutely correct and this is the quickest fix but it seems nobody has the balls to make that call.

The goal of any correctly managed fishery (LA is Not!) is to have the fish spawn at least once before harvest.

Science says approx 75% of female trout spawn at 12”.

It moves to 100% at 14” with some fish spawning twice.

The push to protect the bull reds is because the average size of redfish spawning is 26”.

My problem w all this is this. If it is set to sunset in 3 years, why not move for more aggressive fix like the above mentioned 14” minimum? Because in my opinion, what they are proposing won’t fix biomass or spr in 3 years.
